    Cleaning the drains on the cowl is important. The water runs down the passenger kick panel area where the Smart Junction Box is located. It will corrode after time & cause electrical headaches.

    Those drain plugs got clogged on my 06 gt had the passenger side fill with an inch front to back, unclogged it then drivers side started filling up, this time it was the filter cabin. The whole filter was water logged, leaves and dirt clogging it. Got filter changed got a gallon of water out of there now it's dry as a bone. I also had to cut out almost the whole carpet to get all of the insulation underneath. All the insulation was water logged also

    You’re literally describing so many of the things have had to figure out on my own the hard way!! Like my car flooding. Haha. Your window trick saved me today! Can you give me any advice on why my battery might keep dying? Hoping the window reset might be a part of it. But heard a loud electrical sound in the trunk prior to it dying. My tail lights have always gone out and my trunk button on my clicker doesn’t work any more. Wondering if any/all of it could be related. Also read it could be my shaker 500 cd draining the battery.

      @MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC  2 роки тому

      It is a common problem with the factory radio. We usually buy a used (tested) one and replace the radio. We like to keep our Mustang stock. Although there are some nice aftermarket radios that have Bluetooth features as well.

    • @DobermanLover
      @DobermanLover Рік тому +1

      We just bought an '05 GT Premium with the Shaker 1000 for our daughter. The CD player is stuck on ERROR code and says it's loaded up with 6 CDs but won't eject anything. We are thinking about getting an aftermarket with Bluetooth feature but want to keep the rest of the Shaker 1000 setup. Might you have any suggestions for head units that would fit the bill? The car we got is in overall fantastic condition, considering its age. It does have some minor issues, almost all cosmetic that we are already addressing. I just replaced the original red door panels that were lifting around the edges and had previously been glued back on a few different times through the years with not much success. This is the first Ford we've ever owned. We've had Chevrolets, GMCs, Hondas, Dodges and as of last year our first Toyota. I'm very impressed with this pony! The original (and only other) owner must have garaged it because the paint is in exceptionally good condition save for a small area at the very front of the hood where the V point apexes in the center, right at the edge it has started to "bubble" a little. It has a few minor dings and scratches but for an 18 year old car looks and drives so nicely. It came with just over 96K miles on it but drives great.
      My husband is a lifelong grease monkey who does almost all of the maintenance on our vehicles. He, and our daughter, did all kinds of work on it as soon as we got it home. Fluids, shocks, new battery, and battery tray, one of the belts, replaced the coolant reservoir, took it to a transmission shop to fix a pinion leak, got new wheels and tires that are on the some of the more current models of the Mustang GT and did some other things I can't remember. My husband is all about stock OEM parts unless there is no choice. So this car is all serviced for 100K miles and anything worn out or "aged out" has been replaced preemptively in the hope and expectation that it will give our daughter many years of dependable and enjoyable service. She's been riding dirt bikes since she was 4 or 5 years old so she's familiar with working a clutch but mastering getting out of 1st gear (smoothly) in this car has been her biggest challenge. Shifting into higher gears isn't any hardship at this point. We are loving this car. Thank you so much for the informative tips in this video!!! ​@@MartinsUsedCarsCollectiblesLLC

As you may know it works very well on sagging headliners and it lasts, surprisingly it had an opposite effect on my door panels. I was gonna try the green interior glue that most if not a upholstery shops use, I'll try a small area with the hot glue gun first. I'll let you know how I make out, thanks again.

      You should be able to unlock the car door with the key fob by pressing it twice. On some of the base & deluxe versions of the Mustang, you have to press it twice to open the driver door and then another two times to open the passenger door.

      The CD changer will drain your battery. In the process currently of installing a touchscreen to get the old system with the cd changer out. An alternative solution is to turn off your stereo system everytime you turn your mustang off. That worked for me for about 4 months.
